COD FISH CAKES (BERMUDA)



Cod Fish Cakes (Bermuda) image

I used this recipe for week 30 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook on meal from every nation on Earth, and Bermuda is my 30th stop. Please note that I never use any recipe for my blog that I'm not reasonably sure is from authentic or traditional sources, and this recipe has been posted without any alternations or additions to the ingredients. These cod fish cakes are really more like potato cakes with a little bit of cod meat added. I think they work best as a side dish.

Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT20m

Yield Yield: 8 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 ounces chopped onion
1/2-ounce chopped garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-ounce curry powder
1-ounce fresh chopped thyme
1-ounce fresh chopped parsley
1 pound cooked, roughly smashed potatoes
8 ounces salted cod fish (soaked and rinsed 3 times over the previous 24 hours in the refrigerator, poached in water for 8 minutes)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cream
2 ounces flour
Oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a heavy bottom pan, saute the onion and garlic until cooked. Add the curry powder and herbs and cook for 1 minute. Add the potato and flaked cod fish to the pan and mix together. Season with salt and pepper. Add enough cream to make the mixture workable. On a floured surface, shape the fish cakes and fry in shallow oil on each side for 5 to 6 minutes over a medium heat.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh fish, vegetables, and herbs will give your fish cakes the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Overcooked fish will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the ingredients: Overmixing will make the fish cakes tough.
  • Be patient: Frying fish cakes takes time. Don't overcrowd the pan or the fish cakes will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the fish cakes with your favorite dipping sauce: Tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Bermuda fish cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little practice, you can make perfect fish cakes that will impress your friends and family.
